[Verse 1]
C G
These chords are old but we shake hands
F G
Cause I believe that they're the good guys
C G
We can use all the help we can
F G
So many minor chords outside
C G
I fell in love with the sound
F G
Oh I love to sing along with you
C G
We got tunes we kicked around
F G
We got a bucket that the tunes go through
[Chorus]
C Em F
Babe we both had dry spells
G C
Hard times in bad lands
G F
I'm a good man for ya
F
I'm a good man
C G F F x2
[Verse 2]
C G
Last night there was a horse in the road
F G
I was twisting in the hairpin
C G
My hands held on my mind let go
F G
And back to you my heart went skipping
C G
I found the inside of the road
F G
Thought about the first time that I met you
C G
All those glances that we stole
F G
Sometimes if you want them then you've got to
[Chorus]
C Em F
Babe we both had dry spells
G C
Hard times in bad lands
G F
I'm a good man for ya
F
I'm a good man
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C G
They shot a Western south of here
F G
They had him cornered in a canyon
C G
And even his horse had disappeared
F G
They said it got run down by a bad bad man
C G
You're not a good shot but I'm worse
F G
And there's so much where we ain't been yet
C G
So swing up on this little horse
F G
The only thing we'll hit is sunset
[Chorus]
C Em F
Babe we both had dry spells
G C
Hard times in bad lands
G F
I'm a good man for ya
F
I'm a good man
C G F (x4)
Babe we both had....
C Em F
Babe we both had dry spells
